Volunteer Marine Rescue Whitsundays (VMRW) are thrilled to announce that InterContinental Hayman Island Resort has upgraded its support to that of a Gold Sponsor, stepping up from its former Silver category.
Arpad Romandy, General Manager of InterContinental Hayman Island Resort, said
that the sponsorship is in recognition of the support provided to Hayman Island in conducting a number of medivacs over the last year, as well as its services to the broader island and boating communities.
“We are delighted to continue our partnership and support the important work the volunteer service delivers to the Whitsundays community,” he said.
“It’s been invaluable for our Resort and guests to have the medivac support in our times of need.”
VMR Whitsunday President Mal Priday, said that the service is run by almost 50 dedicated volunteers including boat crew, radio operators, management, fundraisers and trainers.
Partially funded via government grants, VMRW is also heavily dependent upon sponsorship.
“It is very satisfying to have InterContinental Hayman Island Resort increasing their level of support and contribute to meeting the cost of some of our operational expenses - without that type and level of support we would not be here,” he said.
